Nesher, who has a true understanding of the significance of this story, has the rare ability to make films about families that make you feel as though you’re part of them.

Gotham - Season 1
2014 | Drama
Thankfully, there are more high points in Gotham than low points. The growing tension between two crime families takes on a life of it’s own throughout season one with Oswald Cobblepot firmly in the middle.

Interesting story with supernatural elements
Follows several families in a small German town, as you get further in you see that three generations of each family have been/are involved.

That end of the last episode made it seem like next season would be even more far fetched and maybe not in a good way.
Interesting story that follows three generations of several families in a small German town. It’s definitely a show you’ll have to pay attention to or you’ll get lost. My only concern is the end of the last episode, seems like it might be headed in the direction of a bad syfy movie. Just have to wait and see.

This story is complicated. It deals with many moral issues. Families, marriage, strength and weakness. This is a great story coming out just in time for you to toss in your tote bag or beach bag. Just do it!

This is an amazingly cute story about the meaning of Christmas. I truly enjoyed reading it aloud to my kids, (ages 9, 7, and 4) and they all enjoyed the story. I loved following along with Georgie as he picked out the tree with his dad. A truly touching story, perfect for all families at Christmas.

Breaking Into Sci-Fi
Looking to break into the sci-fi genre? To be fully immersed in a time and place both familiar and strange? Dune takes social political structures from our world and creates worlds, families, feuds, and builds such a complex universe that the end of the book comes much too soon!

Amidst this Fading Light, so much tragedy and so much love. It rips at your heart, reading what these families have gone through.The small town always seems to overcome the losses. It thrilled me to see how it all worked out in the end. I definitely recommend this novel. I can't wait to see what Rebecca Davis writes next!

Great console
The console that kinda came out of nowhere and all of sudden was contending with Xbox and PlayStation back in its day, it provided families with lots of games at a lower price, making it hugely popular. Nintendo had had other popular consoles, but that were handheld. This console was a bold, and brilliant move from Nintendo.
